How I Improved My Collaboration Efficiency with Altium 365 In my years as a practising electronics engineer, one of the most significant inefficiencies I have noticed has always been communication between teams, freelancers, contractors, and clients. This has always been the most noticeable when working with firmware developers. And it doesn’t matter if I am working with the firmware developer internally on a permanent team or if I am working with an external contractor who will develop the firmware for Read Article

Board Layer Stackup Considerations for High Speed Board Design Board Layer Stackup Considerations for High Speed Board Design The PCB layer stackup you build to support high-speed board design needs to be engineered based on layer counts, layer thicknesses, and component lead size. Read Article
High-Speed PCB Stackup Design The High-Speed PCB Stackup Design Challenge Stackups for high-speed PCBs can be designed many ways, but these systems must be built by balancing engineering constraints in a final product. Read Article
Design With Manufacturing: A New View on DFM/DFA Design With Manufacturing: A New View on DFM/DFA Complete Guide to DFM Analysis A good friend of mine has a joke about planning a new PCB design for manufacturing: he’ll often ask “have you called your fabricator today?” to stress that you should engage with your manufacturing partner multiple times in the design process. This is something that designers often forget, and it can lead to major headaches ahead of full-scale manufacturing. The fact is, your board should go through multiple rounds Read Article
Stepped Impedance Transformer for Complex Loads Stepped Impedance Transformer for Complex Loads This article will show how a complex load can be converted to a real load with an impedance transformer for any line length and impedance. Read Article
